Recently restored 1889 Smith American reed organ. Still undergoing testing and fine tuning. I'm playing close to full organ here so the pumping is a bit brisk, but, actually the air handling is very good on this instrument.
@Musique3579 Mr. Smith and I thank you! There is a rather devoted community of reed organ enthusiasts, who generously share their knowledge (and spare parts). They are to be thanked as well. Mike
Now THAT is a Reed Organ of the highest quality! Not only is its case a masterwork of art, but the quality of tone I dare say would be very difficult to surpass. Unique in depth, clarity and strength. This is not an "on the surface" sounding instrument by any means.
Almost as if a combination Reed Organ, Harmonium and Pipe Organ all in one. Am I EVER impressed! Your restoration was absolutely fabulous beyond belief! Thank you for making this video. This Organ is sensational!
@rodneyjantzi Thank you kindly, Rodney.
